The Emperor is Above

Chapter 95 Kou Rui vomits blood

"My fellow villagers in Huaiqiu, I am Kou An, the eldest son of Corporal Kou Rui. I have been appointed by the king to act on Maoqiu Tingting's behalf to seek thieves!"

Kou An rode up on his horse at Kou Rui's instruction, and while putting on what he thought was a very friendly expression, he shouted to the villagers,
"You were forced to migrate by Guqiu Yi and had no choice but to leave Huaiqiuli. Now I have brought people to rescue you. You don't have to abandon your fields and houses and go to Jiming Lake."

However, to his surprise, the villagers in Huaiqiuli were not only not excited at all, but actually stared at him as if he were a fool.

Chai Yong led dozens of militiamen who were protecting the convoy. They were fully armored and holding halberds and shields. They blocked Kou An's way and sneered:

"I never thought Kou was so kind-hearted. We, the people of our country, are free to migrate wherever we want. Why do we need you to save us?"

The women on the boat closest to the river shouted loudly and rudely, "Why are you pretending to be a good person, you hypocritical Kou?
If it weren't for your Kou family's descendants who succeeded as the head of Huaiqiu Village, why would we abandon our land and property and leave our home? You are really shameless."

"Sister Mo is right. My family had no intention of leaving Huaiqiuli, but it turned out that the successor to the head of the village was your Kou family. Are we going to die if we stay here?"

"You stupid country women are so unreasonable and don't know what's good for you!"

Kou An knew what his father and brother were thinking, but when these villagers rudely confronted him, he immediately became angry and shouted,
"Since you are determined not to return to Huaiqiu with me, then go to Jiming Lake and wait for death. Don't regret it and come to beg me again when the time comes."

Unexpectedly, the women did not leave any way out at all, and cursed angrily: "We would rather take the risk of going to Jiming Lake with the village head than stay and be bullied by you Kou family. Just give up this idea."

"I wondered who was going to send me off."

Qing Yi walked over from the front of the convoy with a smile, and laughed loudly to Kou An and Kou Rui in the carriage,

"I left my hometown this morning, not wanting to trouble my old friends, but I didn't expect Corporal Kou Rui to catch up and see me off. Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Kou Rui was so angry at Qing Yi's behavior that he vomited blood again. He said angrily, "Guqiu Yi, you knew that Kou Qiang took over as the head of Huaiqiu Village, but you actually did this!"

"Oh, you mean the spring ploughing in Huaiqiu? I have already sent people to plow the thousands of acres of land in Huaiqiu, so we can sow seeds directly when Kou Qiang arrives. Why would I have to come and thank you for such a small thing?"

Qing Yi bowed with a smile, as if he had really done something good. This attitude immediately made Kou Rui speechless. He vomited blood and fainted in the car.

Kou An said angrily: "Guqiu Yi, you should know that my father was talking about the villagers of Huaiqiu. They were all bewitched by you and left. It's really too much."

"Oh? You said I was going too far?"

Qing Yi's expression quickly turned cold, his face full of sarcasm, "The day before yesterday, I learned that my burial ground was in Solitary Hill, and only most of the villagers in Huai Hill were willing to follow me.

Yesterday, everyone found out that Kou Qiang was the next head of Huaiqiu Village, so all the villagers decided to leave with me, and it became clear who was right and who was wrong. "

"You, you are slandering my Kou family!"

Kou An couldn't accept Qing Yi's words.

No one expected that nearly half of the villagers in Huaiqiu were originally prepared to stay, but when they heard that Kou Qiang would take over as the head of the village, they would rather risk their lives to go to Jiming Daze than stay.

The news was originally released to humiliate Qing Yi, but they did not expect that the Kou family would become the biggest joke, which would inevitably spread in Maoqiu Pavilion. Seeing Kou Rui fainted after being stimulated one after another, Qing Yi was too lazy to talk to Kou An anymore, and turned around and ordered the team loudly: "Let's go, let's go, we have to walk at least 60 miles today."

Kou An wanted to continue following the team, but Gongsun Wu stared at him coldly. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine and stopped involuntarily.

"Thanks to Brother Shigu for sponsoring so many sidecars yesterday, otherwise it would be really difficult to move in the next two days!" Qing Yi walked to the front of the convoy while looking at the large trucks around him.

The large carts, which are five meters long and more than two meters wide, can each carry more than 20,000 kilograms and are pulled by two northern wilderness buffaloes. They are the main means of transportation for this migration.

From sorting out belongings, loading supplies onto trucks, to organizing the team, although Gongsun Wu was young, he managed everything in great order, which made Qing Yi feel a lot more relaxed.

"Brother Qingyi, you are really awesome!" Shi Dazhu, who was at the front of the team, riding a wild horse with huge hooves and holding an eight-foot-long sword, laughed loudly.
"The entire Huaiqiu has been demolished to the point where not even a complete roof can be found. If Kou still wants to take over as the head of the village, let him farm alone."

Thinking of the current scene in Huaiqiu, Qing Yi couldn't help laughing, "This is also due to the kindness of the uncles and aunts. Otherwise, who would be willing to take the risk of Jiming Lake?"

Initially, only most of the villagers were willing to follow Qing Yi to Solitary Hill, but unexpectedly, Kou Shi helped a lot, causing all the villagers to decide that it would be better for them to leave with him.

Qing Yi bowed to Shi Dazhu again and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Dazhu, for your protection along the way."

"Haha, why are you saying this?" Shi Dazhu said carelessly, "Since I encountered you migrating to the burial ground, I naturally have to protect your safety."

There was a large stone pillar leading the way in front of the caravan, and there were civet cats and little foxes guarding the boats. The team did not encounter any danger and camped at the Xiema Pavilion in the evening.

Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao each led their teams to investigate the situation within five miles. Dozens of militiamen remained fully armed and on alert. There were already many large groups of beasts roaming around here.

"The Resting Horse Pavilion is the pavilion closest to the Solitary Hill!" Chai Yong was the one who was most familiar with the situation here. He shouted,

"Although the entire Xiema Pavilion only has a little over a thousand people, it was built 20 years ago when Xing Hou came here to rest his horses while hunting. It was built at almost the same time as our Huaiqiuli."

"Uncle Chai, Huaiqiu is not our home now!"

An unintentional remark from Huaimu, who was busy cooking on the campfire, suddenly made the villagers sad. Yes, they have no home now.

Seeing this, Qing Yi hurriedly shouted: "What's there to be afraid of without Huaiqiuli? As long as we are all together, we will have a new home soon. Even if we lose Huaiqiuli, we still have Guqiuli."

These words brought warmth back to the hearts of the villagers. As long as there was a lord willing to protect them, leaving their homes would be worth it.

Chai Yong also hurriedly said loudly: "Yes, yes, isn't it just forty miles more than Xiema Pavilion? We can still live happily."

Forty miles east of Xiema Pavilion is Solitary Hill, but everyone understands that these last forty miles are the real test.

Although the road in the first sixty miles was muddy, it was still passable. In the next forty miles, there were more swamps and more muddy wastelands, and even more terrifying were the ferocious beasts.
